I Waited, I Died, I am Healing

Told by: Judy

I tried to get pregnant for several years.

I carried twins for 4 1/2 months by in vitro fertilization and lost them.

I carried their lifeless bodies inside me for 2 weeks after knowing they were gone since my doctor was traveling overseas. I did not feel comfortable to have any other doctor take them from me so I waited. A few local hospitals kept calling me constantly for a full year asking if I was interested in their baby wellness program. I lived the horror of their deaths every time I received those calls. I kept telling the hospitals what happened but they continued to call…I felt dead inside for years.
